What are your arguments against conspiracy theorists?
I am a conspiracy theorist

- and proud of it.

I read many of the anti-conspiracy theory arguments, and every so often, I come across a well written argument which causes me to think about my position.
There is an anti-conspiracy theory on almost every subject, but when we try to put these anti-theories together, there is no coherence. We end up with many disjointed events with no real meaning or significance.
When one understands just how big the conspiracy is, then almost all world events can be understood as a part of a complete world take-over. The big picture is coherent, and fits like a glove to the conspirators MO.

I am trying to find an anti-conspiracy theory which ties together the following world events.

- 9/11
- The Iraq war
- 7/7 - the London bombings
- The Madrid train bombing
- The Bali bombing
- The Lockerbie air disaster
- Private ownership of the Federal Reserve
- The illegal IRS in America
more to come

Many presidents were not popular during their despot reign, but have found popularity with later generations. For instance Lincoln was hated by many and is now considered one of our best. Not comparing Bush to Lincoln by any means. Thoughts?

I'm 17 years old. Last month I committed a felony which was dropped to a mis. During my stay in juvenille hall my boyfriend of 5 years tried despartely to come visit and contact me but my PO and parents didn't allow it. I was released on Electronic Monitering and was given conditons by the court. I could not contact my boyfriend. I feel that it's unfair because he had nothing to do with my crime. He just wanted to be there and visit me. I violated the order and my EM is extended. After my EM is removed I will be on probation. My family is not on my side and it trying to use the court to punish me. They reported a restraining order and it was granted and will last for 3 years. It was granted because I already had a court order. One, when I turn 18 will I be able to move out still on probation and ward of the court? Will I be able to live with my boyfriend? How do I get rid of the restraining order that my parents put on my boyfriend when I become 18? When I turn 18 will i still have a

I don't mean something like having a speed limit you dislike
I mean something like outlawing rain or requiring all pet alligators to be on a leash (actually that is not stupid it is just weird).

No matter how many laws you pass people from south of the border are going to keep pouring into the United States. No matter how many states make English the official language they are going to come. They will become Americans and they will vote. Why can't Americans simply embrace these new arrivals instead of fighting it? Fighting did not work when the Irish, Germans, Italians etc. came to the USA. Why do Americans think it is going to work now?

In our system, the turnover rate in Congress is less than it used to be in Communist Russia's ruling body, the Politburo. Congressmen are by and large corrupt. Election is based on money. Lobbyists rule, not the people.
Am I being politically incorrect?

I'm a junior in high school and am considering joinging the Navy or Air Force after I graduate to pay for college. But I really don't want to be a solider or pilot. I'm going to major in Nursing during college and plan to be a pediatric nurse. Is there anything in the Navy or Air Force that I can begin to do in the healt care field? I'd prefer to join the Air Force because they are better with families and I don't know how long I plan to be in for. My sister was in the Navy and it was hard on her family with moving around and not being around for her sons birth. If anyone is actually in either of these two forces I would love to hear from you! Thanks!

WE NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
Only corrupt agricultural and livestock giants like tyson and natural foods will use thier labor as a way to increase profits to the big men..CEOs etc.. In reality there are plenty of legal immigrants whom need work and even without the legal immigrants there are agricultural machines that could do most of the work if not all. They don't utilize them becasue it is cheaper to hire an illegal if they can get away with it...as corrupt as that is.Poor Illegal aliens are not the backbone of America,,they don't do the jobs that American's won't..they do the jobs that Americans CAN'T get hired to do because they are a citizen...there is a difference. illegal immigration is decaying the economy and social services of this nation...enough is enough..no more pity for illegals

AND don't say Ameican people can't do hard work in the hot sun

highway construction, steelwork, commercial fishing, electricity companies,,, still mostlky American workers

A friend of Mine has just gone through a nearly 7 year divorce. Her last lawyer (she had for the past 4 yrs). The financial decision was not as she expected. She ended up with a 400K apt + about $100,000 vs her husbands 8MM net worth. The lawyer who has been paid nearly $180,000 to date, just filed a claim against her for $250,000 in additional legal and other expences. I believe that she has been grossly overbilled and taken advantage of. What are the relevant legal aurguments to challange this claim? vs an emotional aurgument?

Maybe any former/present prison guards can answer this one: I was checking the public prison record of my boyfriend, I saw that they list every infraction and contact with the inmate, such as fights and subsequently the punishment received, as well as movement/tranfers between other correctional facilities. On my boyfriends record he was charged with lewd acts while in prison and given a longer sentence, what do "lewd acts" equate to in prison?
